Loitering at their new home in front of Rupert Jee’s Hello Deli -- often featured on The Late Show with David Letterman -- Harvey, wearing a Mr. Brooks T-shirt and ripped jeans, admitted that he and his brother have been feeling the pinch of the recession.

Halloween 3D is unlikely to be released sometime in 2010 or 2011. "Why do you ask?" wonders Harvey. "What’ve ya got?"

I told him my idea was to have Daeg Faerch return as young, teen, and adult Michael Myers, cast Christopher Lee as Dr. Loomis, and take the saga in a different direction -- effectively retconning, white-collaring, and making suspenseful Zombie’s two efforts while reverting Michael Myers to the Shape he once was. "That’s the best idea I’ve ever heard! Can you start Monday?"

Also slated for eventual release: A remake of Hellraiser; Scream 4; Pirhana 3D; Spy Kids 4; Gone with the WindReVAMP’d; Zack and Miri Make a Teen Vampire Movie; and other unspeakable abortions of celluloid, with the exception of Scream 4.

Rob "Traitor" Zombie announces in March that Daeg Faerch has been recast, for reasons that everybody (except Rob Zombie) knows are wrong and stupid.

The Weinsteins have suffered severe drawbacks since their 2005 split from Miramax and its parent company Disney. After scoring hit after hit -- with such classics as Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, the Scream Trilogy, I Don’t Give a Shit What You Did Last Summer, I Still Don’t Give a Shit What You Did Last Summer, Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later, Scream 2, Scream 3, Stupid Movie, Stupid Movie 2, and Honey, I Turned the Kidsinto Spies -- the two Myers-loving Jews decided to bail out on the House of Mouse and do their own thing. They formed The Weinstein Company, LLC, and have produced an embarassingly uneasy filmography, co-distributing many of their 2007 titles with MGM.

Things only got worse until the release of Inglourious Basterds -- co-distributed by Universal -- secured them some income. But it has been a downward spiral from there. Their next release, Zombie’s Halloween II, received box office returns that make Snakes on a Plane look like The Dark Knight. H2 played eighth banana to The Final Destination - 3D, and its failure led the Weinsteins to desperately announce a 3D Halloween, to be written by Todd Farmer and directed by Patrick Lussier (both of My Gratuitously Bloody Valentine 3D fame). However, their involvement remains up in smoke, as Lussier is busy filming some Nicolas Cage movie that nobody is ever gonna see.

In other Rob Zombie news, the rumors that he will be directing CSI are untrue. The traitor has announced that he will instead be directing an ultra violent episode of the popular sitcomTwo and a Half Men. The ratings are expected to drop immensely.

As for the Weinsteins, like the song goes "it’s cold outside."

"Please somebody give us some money," whines Bob.

Harvey quips with "Look what you did to us, Rob Zombie!"

It is still unconfirmed whether the man behind the Weinsteins in the uncropped version of that picture is Mr. Zombie or a different bum on the street.
